ProgramProgram

*FORRÓ comes from the mixture of African and European influences. The couples usually dance really close to each other, but there are also steps

apart, always with a lot of body movement. FORRÓ was born in the Northeast region and introduced to the South of Brazil in the 40's. Some people

say that the word Forró comes from English “For All”. The phrase was written on the doors of the balls promoted by the English in the state of

Pernambuco, in the beginning of the century. If the sign was there, everyone could join the party. A second version says that the word Forró comes

from the African term Forrobodó, which means “party”. It was only in the late 90's that forró began to be appreciated by the young Brazilians, who

have rediscovered a romantic and harmonious way to dance, with the forró universitário. New bands have been formed during the last few years,

some of which are nationally known today, such as Falamansa and Rastapé.
